Less Effective

You must keep up with maintenance tasks to get the most out of your AC unit. While it might seem like a hassle, avoiding these critical services can drastically reduce the performance of your AC unit. When you avoid maintenance tasks and don't let a professional do them, you may notice that your AC isn't working as well as it could be. This is because the parts become worn out over time and require more energy to run, so they won't be able to cool as efficiently and effectively.

Reduced Lifespan

If you're a property owner, you know how much it costs to replace an HVAC unit. But you may not know that skipping maintenance tasks can shorten your AC's life by as much as forty percent. That's because when you don't maintain your unit, it becomes more susceptible to wear and tear, which speeds up the process of it breaking down. The longer it takes for your AC to break down, the more money you'll save on repairs and replacements.

Increased Repair Costs

The cost of fixing the problem will increase if you put off repairs. As your AC unit continues to break down, more and more parts will need to be replaced. The cost of AC repairs can quickly add up, especially if you're trying to get through the hot summer months with a poorly-functioning system. If you want to save money on repairs, make sure you schedule regular maintenance appointments with an HVAC company. That way, they can identify potential problems before they cause any further damage or inconvenience for you or your family members.

Warranty Issues

The manufacturer's warranty guarantees that the product will perform as designed. The warranty protects you, the consumer, from defects and other issues. However, if you have an air conditioner with a 10-year warranty and fail to service your unit on schedule during its warranty period you could be liable for all repairs that the manufacturer would typically cover.

Poor Efficiency

AC systems are designed to be efficient but old age or improper care can reduce their efficiency. When that happens, you'll pay more for your electricity than you need to. When it comes to air conditioners, many factors can lead to poor efficiency. The most common reasons are:

• A dirty filter or dirty coils causes reduced airflow.
• Thermostat settings that are too low or too high cause your unit to run longer than needed.
• Low refrigerant levels force your unit to work harder than necessary.
